About the event

Families with children aged 4 to 10 are invited to a creative Halloween activity at Castello Visconteo.

The afternoon opens with a reading of the book Una zuppa cento per cento strega by Quitterie Simon. Its main character is the witch Sgranocchia, who is busy preparing a very special soup. Unusual ingredients, fairy-tale characters and a touch of magic run through the story.

Afterwards the children make a cardboard cauldron. Using watercolours and salt, they try out a painting technique that creates the effect of a coloured, fizzing, mysterious potion.

Places are limited and registration is required.
